Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 76: D-two

"French President Petain sent a telegram, expressing his gratitude to the head of state for his generous and timely help to the French Navy. Admiral Darren also sent a telegram with the same content and requested that we deploy a batch of urgently needed French Navy as soon as possible. Materials and parts, if you allow them, they also want to restore their ammunition production line. Baidu search to give power literature net

In order to show their sincerity, the French submitted a list of their secret storage warehouses. There are indeed many materials that we have not discovered before, such as thousands of tons of industrial pure iron hidden in the warehouse near the French Naval Arms Manufacturing Bureau. And a batch of naval gun blanks stored in Lorient. "Weirle put the two telegram transcripts in front of Xu Jun, and his heart is now full of admiration for the head of state.

Before the two countries formally signed an agreement to end the war, they boldly sent military supplies to each other and released prisoners of war. Using this method to express goodwill to the French, it now seems like a magical stroke. For this wonderful relationship, the Führer’s plan has obviously obtained preliminary results.

Much of the private communication between Xu Jun and Petain was through the hands of Weierle, so the chief of staff knew exactly how many methods the apostle of God had used, how many deals he had made, and what he had paid. The price, and the rewards are huge.

"The standards for these materials and equipment are all unique to France. They are completely different from our system. They cannot be used without major modifications. Reprocessing and smelting will waste a large part of them, and it is also in vain. Occupy our production line. In general, the gain is more than the loss.

But these things are extremely precious to the French, and most of their production plants are within our occupation zone. They no longer have the ability to make these equipment. In this case, we simply give them, so that we can convey our sincerity to them, and at the same time can strengthen their power to stare at the greedy Italians for us.

This time the British made a faint move, and Churchill misjudged the current situation. This is a disaster for the French, but it is a good thing for us. Order the Eye of Odin to fully launch the inside line in France. We must use all media and public opinion methods to closely follow up on this incident so that all French people know that they were shamefully attacked by the British and betrayed by their allies. Specific implementation. I still have some personal ideas, and I will list a detailed plan later. "

Xu Jun tapped his finger on the dining table, and the orderly took down the plate. Xu Jun picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, then threw the napkin on the table, stood up and turned his head to Weierle. "Willer, walk outside with me."

"Yes, my Führer." Weierle quickly stood up. He packed up the telegram on the table and stuffed it into his uniform pocket, then ran a few steps behind Xu Jun.

"The weather is good today. The weather report says that tomorrow will also be fine and fine weather, and I hope it will not change."

Xu Jun walked on the path paved with wooden boards. Next to it is the flowerbed that the base camp guards built by themselves. There are a lot of flowers and plants transplanted from the field beside the base. Xu Jun looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize a few, but the colorful ones are pleasing to the eye. . So whenever he has free time, Xu Jun will come here and walk a few laps to get in touch with the natural breath. Relieve mental fatigue.

"My head, the forecast given by the Meteorological Department is that the weather will be fine and good in the next two days. However, a low-pressure air mass has been condensed over the North Atlantic. The meteorological observation points along the coast are paying close attention to this phenomenon. Judging from the current mobile trend, it is likely that local strong convective weather will be caused in the Strait area within a week, and there may be a few days of heavy rainfall. The Commander is formulating a corresponding response plan." Weierle replied respectfully.

"So there is not much time for us. Tonight we are about to carry out the first wave of strikes against the United Kingdom. The landing plan cannot be delayed. We must send enough people and materials to that before the bad weather. Go to the island. Bad weather treats everyone equally, and will not treat the British preferentially. It may affect the advancement and supply of our front-line troops, but in the same way, the deployment and deployment of the British troops will also be affected. Influence.

Of course, the landing force will temporarily lose air support. This is a problem, but in the same way, our soldiers will not be threatened by air strikes from the British Air Force. This is beneficial to us, and the United Kingdom still retains With a large bomber force, our Air Force fighter force has heavy tasks and it is difficult to be comprehensive.

The heavy rain will have a certain impact on the road traffic in the landing area. Although the British road system is perfect, when we land, they will definitely damage the roads and bridges. The task of our engineering unit will be very difficult. If there is a lot of rainfall, the surrounding area of ​​the landing site will become a big mud pool, and our mechanized forces will be severely tested. However, these problems also correspond to the British. Their tanks are heavier than ours. The mud should cause them more trouble than us.

We need to notify every participating company of this situation immediately, so that they are psychologically prepared for it. How to turn the bad weather into our combat effectiveness requires the soldiers to use their wisdom flexibly. I believe that our brave German soldiers can overcome all difficulties. "Xu Jun walked to a bunch of unknown little white flowers, squatted down and fiddled with the green branches and leaves. Weierle stood behind him, holding a notebook in his hand, and recording Xu Jun's words one by one in the notebook.

"I will convey your views and opinions to the High Command, my head of state." Weierle nodded respectfully.

"Weirle, tonight, tonight is the most critical night. The troops have already started boarding. They have been on standby for too long. Once the plan is started, it must not be stopped. I can only pray now. Everything went smoothly as planned. This time we have mobilized all the forces we can mobilize. If there is a problem, I am afraid that we have no ability to do it again. So Weierle, I am going to stay here tonight In the command department. I want to get news of the successful landing as soon as possible." Xu Jun stood up and said to Weierle.

"Now, we all need some good luck. Look, I found a four-leaf clover." Xu Jun happily showed off to the Chief of Staff, shaking a grass with four heart-shaped leaves.

At this time, there was a roar of engines over their heads. Three he111 bombers painted in special off-white polyline camouflage lined up in a tight three-plane formation slowly flying over their heads, slowly in front of Xu Jun’s eyes. Slowly turned a corner, and then swayed the wings and flew away.

"This is the plane of the special bombing group." Xu Jun looked down at his watch.

"Is it Operation Hammer? I hope they have a smooth flight."

"The altitude is three thousand and three, and the course is 110. I saw them." Sitting in the glass-gardened cab of the he111 bomber, through the clear windshield. Lieutenant Aldridge, the navigator, found the target they were looking for.

"Send a predetermined signal to request to join the formation." Captain Major Hendrick said while pressing his throat microphone.

"Understood, sir." The back gunner yelled back, and he picked up a flare gun. A green flare was fired in the direction of the approaching bomber group.

The gray-white Heinkel bomber, which was under the special bombing group directly under the command, slowly approached, and then got into the bomber group that was advancing towards the British mainland.

"Be careful, the anti-aircraft artillery fire is intensive, pay attention to changing the altitude, no fighters are found to intercept, all aircraft pay attention to observe." The voice of the group commander came from the headset. A huge group of German bombers, lined up in a neat formation, roared and flew over the enemy capital.

The British Air Defense Command deployed 300 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in London and surrounding areas. At the same time, a large number of blocking balloons and small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery were also deployed in the factory area along the Thames. Pieces of high artillery barrage exploded around the bomber group, and the black and white smoke from the explosion of the warhead almost covered the entire sky.

The intensity of artillery fire. Almost to the extreme that the pilots imagined, they felt like they were flying on a carpet of barrage smoke.

However, although the artillery fire has been intensively frenzied, it has little effect because the UK has lost the guidance of large radar stations, and the so-called air-to-air fire control radar is just a line on paper. Therefore, these antiaircraft guns rely entirely on human eyes to aim.

The target observers rely on the ground-based image-stabilizing optical rangefinder to estimate the altitude and speed of the incoming aircraft, and then a dedicated person calculates the shooting elements on the fire control table. Then it was passed to the firing headquarters, and the headquarters sent Zhu Yuan down to the antiaircraft artillery positions by telephone. The positions adjusted the artillery positions, set the projectile fuze, and then waited for the command to launch uniformly.

The British rely on this set of cumbersome procedures to control their air defense firepower. Once the fleet changes course or altitude, the previous set of procedures will be repeated again. It is conceivable that under this kind of command system The effect of air defense firepower is very limited. Occasionally, blind cats will run into dead mice, and the next two bad luck German bombers, but the Air Defense Command knows very well that the London antiaircraft artillery group is exactly what it looks like, except for the sky. The barrage looks spectacular, and it does not play a basic role as an air defense weapon.

But there is no way, there is no radar guidance, and only relying on visual warning posts. Most of the antiaircraft artillery was just ready to fire when the German bombers flew overhead. If it is at night, let alone I can estimate the approximate distance and direction of the enemy plane by the listener. Facts have proved that it is not reliable once, but in order to show the resistance of the British * team to the people, I can only sway the searchlight and beat the sky indiscriminately.

In this period, civilians were injured and killed by falling anti-aircraft shrapnel frequently occurred in the city of London. More British people were killed by their own anti-aircraft artillery than Germans were killed. There was a serious panic among the citizens, which once caused antagonisms between the military and the civilian population. Anti-aircraft gunners were often attacked by angry citizens on the streets. In the end, they had to rely on the government's password and arrest warrant to suppress it.

"Grizzly, you can go on the road, good luck." The air commander's voice sounded in the headset.

"The Grizzlies understand that I am honored to be flying with you. Good luck." Major Hendrick swung the joystick slightly, and the three gray bombers swayed their wings a few times to greet the comrades, and then left. After the bombing formation, they flew towards the northwest of downtown London.

"Fifteen kilometers away, flying along that highway, you will soon see the target. Look right there, in the woods." The navigator took a photo against the ground features, and soon Discovered the goal of this trip.

"There are no radars and antiaircraft guns nearby. It looks like an ordinary manor. They are well hidden. We must have never thought we will come." Hendrek grinned and pressed the call button.

"No. 2 and No. 3, according to the plan, look for their respective goals, pay attention to aim, and strive to complete the task once."

The three bombers lowered their altitude and flew almost close to the top of the tree, while slowly opening the bomb bay door under their belly.

Across a grove, a small country manor appeared in front of you. The main body was a double-storey Victorian townhouse with red brick exterior walls and spires, and three lawns on the side. In the row of wooden houses, you can see several people running out of the house and pointing to the plane.

German bombers lined up in a row ~IndoMTL.com~ dropping bombs down at a rate of one every half second. The bombs with red-painted bands fell from the sky, and the six in the first round fell right in the middle of the wooden house. After a dull explosion, a series of huge fireballs skyrocketed, and the wooden house was plunged into a sea of ​​flames. Dozens of flame-burning figures rushed out of the room, but ran in. In the hot sea of ​​fire outside, the figure rolled and struggled, and finally fell silently into the coke in the flame.

The second round and the third round of bombs fell on the main house and side house of the manor one after another. The beautiful double-storey buildings instantly turned into burning crematoriums, and the tenants inside even had the opportunity to run out of the house. Nothing. It turned into a sacrifice to the **** of fire, and even if they ran out, it was useless, because the entire open space in front of the house was shrouded in a raging sea of ​​fire, and the entire manor was now like a burning volcano.

"The mission was completed. The new type of bomb showed much more power in actual combat than in the shooting range experiment. It was beyond my expectation. I took a few more photos to prove that Bletchley Manor has been completely destroyed." Drek stared at the hellish scene on the ground. He nodded in satisfaction and gave orders to the navigator.

Three bombers circled around the manor a few times. After determining that they had not missed any ground targets, they slowly turned to climb, flew to the southeast, and slowly disappeared into the horizon. (To be continued)
